To all iJhom it may concerit:

Be it known that I, HEINRICH BosxnN,

citizen of the Empire of Germany, resilcll' ave invented a new and useful Method of Produciing Imitation Marble on Finished Objects, of which the following is a specification.

It is old to produce imitation marble on finished objects, such as plaster figures or other objects of plastic artfByaTifii ss in which first the object is primed an then the .respective placesof the coat are tapped with a substance dissolving the coat. For oilprimings turpentine would seem .to be the est; but it renders the imitation marble so produced stained and not sufficiently geingd. On vertfical (siurii'laceahmoreoverfithe isa vantage is oun t at t e stains ow since the tu entine does not pass ofl sumciently quic y from the color.

My invention relates to an improvement in this method; and the improvement con sists in the addition of benzin, ether, or any other rapidly-volatilizable liquid. I

now proceed .to describe my invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 illustratesdiagrammatically the first ste of the method, several mixtures of a rapid y-volatilizable liquid, driers, and oil-colors having been applied to surfaces.

2 illustrates diagrammatically the second step of the method, the primed surfaces, according to Fig. 1, being tapped with turpentine. Fig. 3 illustrates diagrammatically the third step of the method, the surfaces treated according to Fig. 2 having been coated with transparent lacquer or transparent lazulite-blue orgreen bice; and Fig. 4 illustrates diagrammatically the fourth step qf the method, one or several mixtures of a rapidly-volatilizable liquid, driers, and oil colors having been applied to the surfaces according to Fig. 3 and also tapped with turpentine.

.The method is as follows: Five parts, by

I weight, of benzin or ether or any other rap- .idly-volatilizable liquid and one part of drier are mixed with quite a small quantity of oil color as bought in the market in tubes to .form a thin glazing color of the desired shade,

I and this glazing color is applied to the object. Where so preferred, various glazing colors repared in a similar manner may be apphe one or more at a time and in various manners to the obgect. For example, three necessary, with the aid of a brush, a little pad of wadding, or the like, so as to ush aside the color and to form veins-in ot 1er words, to distribute the color properly. In this way it is ossible and easy to closely irritate the marb e and to extend the imitation even to M'rEt-accessible recesses of the object. The color-is at once fixed by the evaporation of the benzin.

When the imitation marble has become quite dry, it is protected from external influences by a thin coat of transparent spiritvarnish, (or solution of shellac,) and at last it is polished in any known manner-for exam 1e, by means of wax.

articularly good results may be obtained if the method is modified as follows: First. one or more thin glazing colors are prepared in the manner described above, benzin alone being employed. After the application of one or more .of these glazing colors to the object (see Fig. 1) the wet paint is tapped on ed on the respecthe respective laces with turpentine to dis 1.

tribute the co or or colors properly. (See Fig. 2.) When the paint so treated has dried,

a coat of transparent lacquer or a thin coat of tra l dry. ee Fig. '3.) Then one or more glaz-i ing colors are pre ared in the manner de-; scribed aboye, on y that ether is this time preferably employed.

ject, and the wet paint is tapped with turpentine, the same as before. (See Fig. 4'.) After the imitation marble so formed has become quite dry'\it is protected by a thin coat of transparent. spirit-varnish, (or solution of shellac,) and at last it is polished.
